Look for special babyGap Peter Rabbit events at select Gap stores on Jan. 26th

To celebrate the collection, Gap will host a special reading series for children and parents on January 26th at select babyGap stores in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Toronto and Washington D.C. During the events, guests will be treated to a reading of Emma Thompson’s sequel, The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit, while enjoying activities and snacks that bring the world of Peter Rabbit to life.   Dear Gap, I think Emma Thompson is great, but why not read Beatrix Potter’s original books? Isn’t your collection inspired by Beatrix Potter’s classics?

If you love the tales of Peter Rabbit try to catch the excellent film Miss Potter with Renee Zellweger.  It’s a great look at the genius behind the stories.
